Countdown to 3 million posts

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, people are trying to reach 3 million posts before a certain date. There are a few bumps in the road, but if everyone posts, we could make it.

I believe it will be a very long time before we reach 3 billion posts.

Wait... 3 million... nevermind

If you mean, while it's still Gregs birthday, don't forget daylight saving that started Sunday.

Judging from the Chuck Norris facts thread some decided to speed the process up.

Oh noes! Let's not let the 3,000,000th post be a Chuck Norris fact...!

Another 48 hours, 2,995,103 - that means 2000 per day. We will be there on Friday.

What was the 1 millionth post, I wonder?
 
  • #55
What about the 1,000,000th post?

EDIT: Ah, beat me to it.

I'm sure glad it wasn't my post. Come to think of it; when it get really close to 3 million, I might hold off on posting. It would be my luck to be the one posting it and it would have several spelling and grammatical errors. Or worse.

If that happened to me, I would pull a George Lucas and change it and insist it was always that way.

Anyone want to write a script that takes users' post per day count, times of posting, and the data on time and number of posts until 3e6 to predict who will be the 3e6-th poster?
